Close up of Poppies, poppy flower, macro shots, backlit. The remembrance poppy (a Papaver rhoeas) has been used since 1921 to commemorate soldiers who have died in war. The remembrance poppy is especially prominent in the UK. In the weeks leading up to Remembrance Sunday, they are distributed by The Royal British Legion in return for donations to their "Poppy Appeal", which supports all current and former British military personnel.
